    About this ebook

    I am currently a college student who, at first, was a bit hesitant about the idea of attending my local college. Stepping out of high school and starting life in college can be a scary experience!  I have good news… college is awesome!  Whether you decide to stay close to home or travel a thousand miles away, you need to know how to thrive in your new environment.  I need to pass along what I have learned and wish I knew as an entering freshman. I want you to enjoy your college experience and I know you will!

    I show you the college basics such as how to deal with tuition and payments and how to choose the best professors and classes.  I touch on social topics such as how to make friends and find community.  The most important thing I share with you is how you can grow to thoroughly enjoy the college experience.

    You don’t have to repeat my crazy mistakes like spending countless hours in line to no avail.  Don’t loose money buying the wrong book and not be able to return it when the class is over!

    I learned all of this the hard way my entire freshman year.  Take my advice and learn the ropes before you even start your first day of college!  My book is simple and to the point. My book is through but don't worry- it's not a boring textbook!

      21 Amazing Tips for Your Freshman Year - Elizabeth Boyd

      1 – Is College For Me?

      I will NEVER go to Valencia. I should’ve listened to Justin Bieber when he sang Never Say Never.  I was so adamant not to go to my local college. In my mind, it was a dead end school -a place where people go when they don’t know what to do with their lives. I knew what I wanted to do and it did not involve Valencia.

      So after I graduated I got a part time job. One day, I was stocking shelves and I realized, I can’t do this for the rest of my life. That was the first time I actually considered registering for my community college.

      You might be in a rock and a hard place. Is college even for me? Can I do life without it? I was in your exact position; I know the stress of dealing with the constant questions from adults.  Fresh out of high school, it’s hard to know what to do for the rest of your life. When people would ask me what I was doing or what I planned on doing, I would feel so pressured. As if I wasn’t good enough being where I was.

      I did end up going to college, but honestly, I still am figuring out the path I’m meant to take. College is a good place to be when you have no idea what you’re doing. I obviously know what I like to do, what I enjoy doing- but can I do that as a career? At least, being in school, I’m working towards something! I don’t have to declare my major just yet, and the classes I’ve been taking are required for all degrees. So if you have a couple ideas of what you would like to do, but no concrete plans, that’s ok. By going to college, you can figure it out as you go. And don’t feel bad- most of the kids I’ve met in college don’t have a solid plan either.

      But do all careers require college? Honestly, no they do not. If you want to be a carpenter- you need to learn that trade, not go study biology. If you want to learn a trade, you can go to specialty schools or institutes.

      So is college for everyone? No. Some people do just fine without a higher education. However, most of those people have solid plans and ideas towards where they’re going in life. If you do not, I highly suggest going to college. You’ll be working towards something at least. Plus, when those pesky adults start asking you what you’re doing with your life, you can tell them you’re investing yourself in a formal education. Worry about Oh, and what’s your major? later. One step at a
